ALL-Sport Arrowhead Lake Private Beach-Front Home


Whileaway Lakehouse: A Beautiful Lakefront Home Perfect for Making Memories!

Welcome to Whileaway Lakehouse, a stunning lakefront retreat overlooking ALL-SPORT Lake Arrowhead (also known as Buhl Lakes). This updated vintage lake house offers 2,700 square feet of living space and 174 feet of private lake frontage—plenty of room for the whole family to relax and play! With its ideal location, you can enjoy swimming, fishing, boating, ice fishing, and sledding, or simply unwind and take in the serene surroundings.

Outdoor enthusiasts will love the easy access to snowmobiling and ORV trails right outside the door, with ample driveway space for toy haulers. For ski lovers, cross-country trails and downhill ski resorts are just 15–20 minutes away. In the spring, you can hunt for morel mushrooms, and in the fall, take in the breathtaking foliage.

Community Amenities:
Guests have access to a heated in-ground pool (open Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day), a pavilion, multiple playgrounds, and a basketball court—all just a short walk from the house. Kids especially love these options! We also provide two kayaks, a paddle boat, an aluminum rowboat, and life jackets for lake adventures. You can fish right off the dock or jump into the lake for a swim. Two mountain bikes are also available for exploring the trails.

The cottage’s shoreline features a grassy area with a sandy-bottomed lake, perfect for wading. Relax in the hammock nestled among the trees, or enjoy the large lakeside paver patio with a bonfire pit for stargazing, sing-alongs, and marshmallow roasting.

Spacious and Comfortable:
The home’s main floor features a 60-foot balcony with spectacular lake views, complemented by a matching lower-level patio. With two large family rooms on separate levels, there’s plenty of space for families or groups to spread out and enjoy their stay.

Bedrooms:
Two upstairs bedrooms, each with a queen bed, open directly onto the deck through very large door walls, offering breathtaking views of the lake and direct outdoor access.

Two downstairs bedrooms, each with two twin beds, have large windows framing serene lake views.

A queen-size sofa bed in the lower-level family room provides additional sleeping space.

To ensure a restful stay, beds have been upgraded to luxury mattresses featuring brands such as Avocado Green, Ghost, and Nectar—because a good night’s sleep is essential for a great vacation.

Dining and Outdoor Spaces:
The dining room is spacious enough to accommodate all guests, with additional outdoor seating available on the balcony and lower patio.

Prime Location:
Whileaway Lakehouse is centrally located in Northern Michigan’s beautiful Arrowhead community, a private resort spanning 640 acres of forested land, lakes, and trails. You’ll also find:

Golf courses: 29 courses within 10–30 minutes
Downhill skiing: Boyne Mountain, Nubs Nob, and Treetops within 15–60 minutes
Other attractions: Boyne Mountain’s indoor water park, perfect for kids!

We’re just 15 minutes from downtown Gaylord, 30 minutes from Boyne City, 45 minutes from Petoskey, and about an hour from Traverse City and Mackinaw City.
Make Memories at Whileaway!

Whether you’re looking for adventure or relaxation, Whileaway Lakehouse offers the perfect setting for an unforgettable getaway. Come and experience the beauty, comfort, and fun for yourself!

Wonderful and relaxing time at this beautiful property. The property had everything we needed. Beds were comfortable, we all slept great. Communication with Laurel was easy to contact and response was prompt. Thank you for allowing us to enjoy a bit of Michigan at your lake property.

All You Could Ask For

Our family had a terrific week in Whileaway and on Lake Arrowhead. The lake house is charming, very clean and had every amenity possible to please grandparents,parents and children aged 16 months - 12 years.....right down to s'more sticks provided for the campfire! Tubing and fishing on the lake was fun and the lake wasn't overly busy. Pickleball, playground and the heated pool were an easy walk away. Only wish we could have stayed longer!

Whileaway Visit

Even though we didn’t get lucky with the weather, we still had a great time at Whileaway. The house was super comfortable, well-stocked with everything we needed, and had so many extra things available for use (paddle boats, kayaks, rafts, etc.)! The host was also very quick to respond to any questions we had about the property!

The best host ever!

This house was amazing! It had everything and more. We had the best time boating, kayaking, beach time, fishing and so much more! Kids caught fish right off the dock bass, perch, blue gill and more. Laurel was extremely responsive to any questions I had. We loved every second of our trip. Kids said this house was by far one of our best vacations yet! House is equipped with everything and so spacious. We would love to spend more time/vacations here with Laurel. Thanks again for amazing memories with our family!
